Text mode HSTX DVI output on the Fruit Jam ๐ก๐ฅ๏ธ๐
Published 1ย year, 5ย months ago
Description
Jepler has been working round the clock to get HSTX DVI (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_dvhstx/blob/main/examples/02texttest/02texttest.ino) output support for the Fruit Jam (https://www.adafruit.com/product/6200) working - this mode is neat because its 'text only' - you get 3-bit color text, it does that by creating a 'resolution' of 91 x 30 characters, you can only set the color and glyph. However, the monitor output is a non-buffered 1280x720, with each scanline generated 'on the fly', so you don't need any SRAM. This could be great for something like a Z-machine emulator (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-machine) or other text-mode-only computation.
